Crawl Over Every Detail of a Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird

From Road & Track

The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals were this past weekend in Chicago. The Stephens Convention Center was chock full of every make and model of muscle car (and Corvettes), making it a car enthusiast's dream. I was drawn to the winged cars as I often am, and found two pristine examples which I was allowed to walk around and film by the owners.

The first vehicle I examined was a Charger Daytona with a 440 Magnum and an automatic. It had recently been restored and looked like it came off the assembly line earlier that day. The only giveaway that it had any age to it was its odometer reading.

The second vehicle I looked at was a Hemi 4-speed Plymouth Superbird. This example is not only ultra rare, but it was up on stands to give the audience a good view of the car's underside. Suffice it to say that if one wanted to eat off the underside of a car, this car was the one where you'd set your table.
